According to American media outlets a soldier was accused of stealing an armoured vehicle from a military base and leading police on a chase through Central Virginia.
Dubbed a BԪַslow pursuitBԪַ due to the M577 armoured personnel carrierBԪַs speed of about 70 km/hr, officers were able to catch up with the suspect and arrest him.
Reports indicate once the solider exited from the vehicle, he was tasered after not following officer commands.
